Ingredients:
1/2 cup(60 grams) all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups(63 grams) panko
3/4 cup(149 grams) vegetable oil
1 (12-ounce/340-gram) can Spam, cut horizontally into 8 slices
3 sheets nori, cut crosswise into thirds
4 cups(850 grams) cooked short-grain white rice
Directions:
Set up a dredging station: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko into 3 separate shallow bowls.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. While the oil is warming, dredge half the Spam slices: First in flour, then eggs, and finally panko, being sure to press the panko firmly, creating a thick, even layer.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the coated Spam directly into the hot pan and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain.
Repeat the dredging and frying process for the remaining Spam.
Divide the rice into 8 equal portions. Using a musubi mold, add the rice directly and press firmly until it is about ½ inch thick. (If you don’t have a musubi mold, you can use a clean Spam can that is lined with plastic wrap in its place.)
Place the formed rice on top of a Spam katsu and wrap with a nori slice, using a little water to seal the nori edges. Repeat for the remaining musubi. Serve immediately or wrap with plastic wrap to eat on the go.
